http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/GeoTools+and+GeoServer+release+schedule
- Still looking for a volunteer for 2.4.5.


Security subsystem feedback
---------------------------

- Jody and Ben sharing experiences.
Ben's gripes (Puppet auto deployment):
- Security documentation sorely lacking.
- No RESTful API for security.
- File format documentation out of date.


Wicket upgrade
--------------

- Old version broken with modern browsers.
- They are now up to version 6, we are on 1.4.


Code sprint
-----------

- Code sprint? Perhaps weekend before foss4g


Release schedule
----------------

- Andrea's proposal: Release Schedule V2 (with PDF)
- one development branch, two stable (stable and LTS) with alternating releases


Locationtech
------------

- Jody looking at IP tickets, problems, early morning Thurday meeting
- vecmath problems
- other examples, removing classes


New rasteriser
--------------

- Andrea helping others work on a new rasteriser to replace Oracle closed 
source version.
- Removes scalability issues.
- Replaces part of JDK without having to install custom JDK, using 
-Xbootclasspath
- Without having to wait for Oracle.
- Andrea helped by doing the scalability testing and use of -Xbootclasspath
- Jody: please give a presentation
- Back in the game for performance shootouts.
- Andrea: almost doubled peak performance (FOSS4G 2010 benchmarks)
- Ben: beautiful IGN map from a few weeks ago? 
- Andrea: IGN would not give data but offered a blog post; they used a large 
array of SLDs, labels placed with long computations using proprietary 
preprocessing tools, GeoServer for coarse labelling
